Presented through a retro computer interface, the video evokes strong analog emotions with old-school fonts, sound effects, and a loading hourglass icon.
The album features six tracks: the title song ‘Never Ending Story’, ‘Red Sneakers’, ‘October 4th’, ‘Last Scene (Feat. Wonstein)’, ‘The Beauty (Feat. Balming Tiger)’, and ‘Square’s Dream’. Instrumental snippets of each song are also featured in the video, offering a nostalgic preview of what’s to come.
